beating

A northern Minnesota man has been sentenced to more than 16 years in prison for fatally beating a man who considered him a friend. Thirty-nine-year-old Michael Henry Richard Daufelt of Virginia, Minnesota, got the maximum sentence allowed under state guidelines Monday.

Waite Park Police are investigating an assault that happened late Saturday night. Officers were called to the 200 block of 2nd Avenue South just before midnight where they found a man with facial injuries.
